Before work starts
How to check a Texas electrician's license
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) licenses electrical contractors and individual electricians, including master and journeyman electricians.
A business that does electrical work in Texas needs an electrical contractor license, and the work is done by licensed electricians under it.
- 1. Get the license numbersAsk for the contractor license and the electrician's license.
- 2. Search TDLRUse the license search on tdlr.texas.gov to confirm both are active.
- 3. Check insuranceAsk for a certificate naming your business for plant or commercial work.
Permits
South Houston permits are not City of Houston permits
South Houston is a separate city with its own government. A Houston Permitting Center permit does not cover an address inside South Houston city limits.
Inside South Houston
Permits and inspections go through the City of South Houston.
Ask the electrician to confirm the permit before work starts.
Next door in Houston or Pasadena
Each city runs its own permits. Check which city the property sits in, not just the mailing address.
Unincorporated Harris County sites follow county rules.
- Service upgrades and new three-phase services need CenterPoint to schedule the meter and service work.
- Keep permit numbers with the building's electrical records for insurers and inspectors.
Outages and storms
CenterPoint, hurricanes and Houston heat
CenterPoint Energy owns the poles, wires and meters in the Houston area. Businesses and homes buy power from a retail electric provider, but outages go to CenterPoint.
Hurricane Beryl made landfall on July 8, 2024. About 2.2 million CenterPoint customers lost power, and a May 2024 windstorm had caused wide outages two months earlier.
Long outages in summer heat are a safety issue. Many South Houston businesses now plan generator hookups, surge protection and post-storm inspections.
After a storm
- Keep power off to gear that took on water
- Book a commercial electrical inspection before restart
- Check motor rotation after service is restored
- Look for surge damage on controls and drives
